Looking for tacos on DoorDash?

If you opened DoorDash searching for tacos around Kent, your instincts were right — you have just landed on the truck those tacos come from.

Thank You for Finding Us Here
We know how it goes. You go looking for tacos on a delivery marketplace, a name catches your eye, and you end up on the restaurant’s own page instead. We are genuinely glad you did, and grateful you are considering ordering with us directly.
You do not owe us that choice. But if you make it, it lands squarely on a small food truck in Kent rather than on a marketplace — and that matters more than you might think.

Tacos Worth the Detour

The part nobody advertises
What Ordering Direct Actually Changes
Here is the part nobody puts on the taco. A delivery marketplace takes its cut from both ends of the same order — from the restaurant that cooked it and from you.
Through a delivery marketplace
Fees stack on both sides of the order
-
Commission charged to the restaurant up to 30%
Taken out of the food you ordered, before the kitchen sees a cent.
-
Credit card processing about 3%
Charged on top of the commission above.
-
Fees charged to you, the customer around 15%
Service and delivery fees added at checkout, separate from the tip.
Added together across both sides, as much as 48% of what the order generates can go to fees rather than to the food.
Direct from La Chaparrita de Kent
One small fee, and that is the end of it
-
No commission on the restaurant. Nothing is deducted from the order before it reaches the kitchen.
-
The same menu prices you would pay calling us or walking up to the window. We are not marking the menu up to absorb a commission, because there is not one.
-
A small ordering fee, and nothing else. No stacked service charge, no percentage skimmed off both ends.
The result: the price is the price, and what you pay goes to the people who cooked your food.
Figures above are the rates commonly reported across the third-party delivery industry. Commission tiers, processing rates, and customer-side fees vary by marketplace, by plan, and over time — check any given marketplace’s current terms for its own numbers.
Keeping it in Kent
Every Taco Keeps More Money in Kent
A commission taken out of a taco order does not stay in Kent. It leaves the city entirely, on its way to a company headquartered somewhere else.
Order direct and that money stops here — with the people cooking, the local suppliers we buy from, and the neighborhood the truck parks in. Same tacos, same price, a very different destination for the money.
